Hiding snipers from UAVs

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

I don't think the sniper kit needs any more help. There are always plenty of snipers around, thanks to the indestructible nature of the sniper's primary weapon (or at least that's how it seems sometimes) - the claymore. To expect to survive on the battlefield without ever moving is totally ridiculous. Snipers relocate after shooting, they don't sit and camp in a single spot, however good a location is. Everyone else can be seen on a UAV and killed by artillery, I don't see why snipers should expect to be any different.

Please note that I'm not saying that snipers are useless, or not teamplayers, or anything stupid like that. All classes have their uses, including snipers. But they don't need to be hidden from UAVs as well. Such a suggestion would serve to radically alter the gameplay of BF2, and I think it's fairly safe to say that most people, for one reason or another, think that there's already far too much of that gone on.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

as a primary sniper, I'd be quite satisfied just to see Cartillery totally removed as a practical weapon... and I've only ever had two vehicles dropped on me... ever. It's just such a retarded tactic...

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

why hide snipers from uav?
thats jsut daft.
the only thing i would change about the snipers is make them able to repick the claymore back up.
when i play as sniper an go in a hiding place an put my CM's down so the enemy cant sneak up on me.
then after i got a kill i move on to some where new but ive now got no cover as my CM's are at my last kill point.

yes i agree but its a tactic that works an puts an end to are killing spree

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

As with any proposed change, I ask myself "How will this be abused?"

Can we say sniper SL anyone? An already effective squad tactic is a SL that sneaks behind enemy lines and has his squad wait to spawn till he's at the flag. Now he's invisible too.

I like the general idea, but a CO should still be able to spot them manually by zooming in his view. And if a CO is spending that much time on you, consider it a compliment and take one for the team. It means he isn't helping the rest of his team.

Overall though, not needed. There are more important things that need fixing.

I would really like to call you an IDIOT, but then I'd probably get a warning... And btw, your name suits you good.

Kids these days. I won't even tell you what I do for a living.

What I can tell you though is do your research before you assume.

Play nice, boys and girls... Surely we can have an intelligent debate without resorting to pointless name-calling and patronising each other...?

Have you even read the last part of my thread?

What do you think I was "assuming"? I knew there was a wiki thread about it, just couldn't remember the name. I pointed it out to you, and you think I'm just guessing it all?

Hmm... Maybe a good idea, but this would make the highest ranked players only who get the advantage ...

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

A limited number of people can be snipers. This would also lower the number of people who overuse it. The limitation can be set either by the people with highest scores get to be snipers, or people who have the highest ranks etc...

no no no no. Then people who have lower ranks would not be able to go snipers and wouldnt get a chance to get there scores up especially when there new to the game and want to go sniping.
Some of the ideas are good like if ur still UAV doesnt spot yah and if yah move it does but not the one limiting the snipers thats wrong.

I'll have to reply to this early, otherwise all others will be picking on me like crazed birds...

I agree with you, that was probably not the best of the modifications I posted...
